Chapter 469: Another Death
The old beggar spat out a puff of smoke rings, and said quietly: "No matter how you say that Zhang Yiyi is one of the foundations of Longhu Mountain, there shouldn't be anything foolish on the side of the Heavenly Master's Mansion!" However, Zhang Yiyi is indeed closer to us, and it is not impossible for the Heavenly Master's Mansion to restrict her actions a little, and not to let her come here again! ”
I shook my head and sighed, "Unless it's a forcible move, otherwise, the Heavenly Master's Mansion shouldn't be able to stop Zhang Yiyi." During the Daomen Conference, for the sake of Longhu Mountain's face, unless the Heavenly Master's Mansion was in the water, it would be impossible to do anything to Zhang Yiyi, it would be too easy to cause infighting in Longhu Mountain. ”
"She hasn't come back yet, obviously delayed by something. In the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the people and things that can affect her are definitely no longer ...... on the second peak."
Hearing this, Mo Yi and the old beggar were both slightly stunned, and their faces changed slightly.
"You mean, it's the Heavenly Master's side......"
"I don't know, I just guessed it casually!"
I looked at the location of the highest peak of Longhu Mountain in the distance, the first peak shrouded in the night, dark without any light, like a fierce beast hidden in the dark, waiting for the arrival of its prey.
"Hopefully, I guessed wrong!"
I sighed lightly, threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, and said to Mo Yi and the old beggar: "I will keep watch for the first half of the night, you go to rest first, and you will guard for the second half of the night!" ”
The two of them nodded, rolled over and fell from the top of the attic, and went back to their rooms.
"Whew~"
Hearing the barking of the silly dog, I glanced towards Lan Yao's room, and she looked at me with a little worry in front of the windowsill holding the silly dog.
I smiled at her, waved my hand and said, "Go to sleep, it's okay!" ”
With the stupid dog staying by Lan Yao's side, I don't have to worry too much, just deal with the situation that may arise tonight.
Mo Yi and the old beggar went to the room to recuperate, and I lay on the roof of the attic, with my hands resting on the back of my head, looking up at the starry night sky, waiting for midnight to come.
Time passed little by little, and when it was almost late at night, the figures of Mo Yi and the old beggar appeared beside me.
"The lights on the other side of the Heavenly Master's Mansion haven't been extinguished yet, aren't those old things going to sleep tonight?" Mo Yi looked at the second peak and muttered.
The old beggar said to me, "Go and sleep for a while, and we will call you if there is a situation!" ”
I whispered, "I'll go to the back mountain, if there is a problem here, it will make a lot of noise, otherwise I may not be able to hear it!" ”
Hearing this, the old beggar and Mo Yi were stunned for a moment, and looked at me in some surprise.
I didn't tell them about the short old man's appointment to meet me, but simply said: "I made an appointment to meet someone at the foot of the back mountain in the evening, and he may know the details of the killing of Jingyun Daochang!" ”
Hearing me say this, Mo Yi suddenly said, "I'll go with you!" ”
I shook my head and said, "You stay, I'll just go over by myself, and we'll talk about the details when I get back!" ”
"Be careful, this is Dragon and Tiger Mountain after all, no matter who it is, you have to be careful!" The old beggar said solemnly.
I nodded and said, "I'm not a fledgling hairy boy, don't worry!" ”
With that, my figure flashed, and I left the attic in an instant, and walked down the hill to the north.
The short old man asked my son to meet at the crooked neck tree at the foot of the mountain in the north at three o'clock, it seemed secretive, didn't he worry that he would be noticed by those old guys in the Heavenly Master's Mansion?
After all, the flowers and trees in the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain are the eyeliner of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and when we meet on the side of the crooked neck tree, we can't hide those old guys from the Heavenly Master's Mansion at all!
However, since the short old man asked me out, it means that he is sure that he will not be discovered by others, and maybe there is some way to shield the perception of those old guys in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. The short old man is an old man from Longhu Mountain, so he shouldn't act recklessly, and this kind of thing saves me from worrying.
There was still nearly half an hour to go, and the little old man should not have arrived, so I thought I would wait for him under the crooked neck tree for a while.
However, when I came to the position of more than ten feet in front of the crooked neck tree, my steps were stopped.
The little old man had arrived, waiting for me under the crooked neck tree.
It's just that at this time, he is not standing under the crooked neck tree, but hanging from the crooked neck tree.
His feet are more than half a meter high from the ground, his tongue is drooping, and under the starlight, he can faintly see his old face is blue and hideous, his eyes are wide open, and the thick unwillingness and anger are forever fixed on his face.
The short old man Zhang Jingyuan is dead!
Hanged in the place where he and I had an appointment!
